What I bought in Marrakech

This are the nail polishes I bought  when we went to Marrakesh.

OPI - "A-piers to be tan" from the San Francisco collection from last year and "Amazon...Amazoff" from the Brazil collection from this year.

CR Cairuo  - "19 Blueberry" and "20 Green Tea"

Silver zebra

I wasn't really happy whit this :( 

I painted my nails with Manhattan - Lotus Effect in number 1, which is a silver colored polish. I was going to do zebra nailart on all my nails but it was quite late and the only light source I had was my computer so I ended up adding shatter nailpolish to my right hand (which is the one i paint with and always get neglected since my left hand is my weak one...)

IsaDora - Moroccan Blue (721)

3 weeks ago before going to Marrakech I painted my nails with a very appropriated blue polish: Moroccan Blue from IsaDora and my challenge was to see if that blue really was as the blue in Morocco... 

 I did some stamping on my ring finger. I chose to do swallows in white, grey and black.... also this was a very appropriated motive, since there was A LOT of swallows in Marrakech.

 I also stamped a flower garland on my thumb. And I did find the same blue nuance as Moroccan Blue on a table of the restaurant we eat at in Essaouria.

Models Own - Golden Green and Copper Pot from the BeetleJuice collection

is what I currently have on my nails :) I took this pic some days ago and posted it to my instagram. It was warm and sunny that day, well we still have it warm and sunny in the days but in the afternoons it has rained and been a bit windy. Not today however. 

Well so Golden Green is a green duochrome that goes over to a golden color and Copper Pot  is just what the name refers to COPPER but also with a golden color.

I think it's really nice but I would like to do some nail art with this someday

China Glaze and Seche at H&M

Hello,

some days ago I saw on Instagram that H&M had started to sell China Glaze (!!!!) in their stores. So on Monday after work I went downtown and to H&M.... I didn't only buy nailpolish but also shampoo, conditioner and deodorant that they had on sale.

 So I bought Seche's Base coat, manly coz it's a ridge filling base coat and I been planing on buying one for my nails a long time since my thumb sometimes makes me go bonkers... 

 And I bought this China Glaze 1008 Purple Panic a neon, well I would call it PINK and not PURPLE... and it dries matte. And it's really really neon!

ps. the pictures does not capture the real color very well but trust me on that it's neon and pink!

Beetle nails

Last year when I was in Germany I bought Catrice "07 Genius In The Bottle", which is a duochrome polish in gold/green (you can read/see a picture of the bottle here)

I haven't used it until this week, why you might ask... well to be honest I don't know!!! It's absolutely gorgeous. Sure it's a bit hard to get it totally opac and not showing any strokes...but it get soooo nice when it's done.

 This picture is with flash and my Canon camera

This is without flash and my Iphone 4s.

I wanted to do like a beetles back, when they kind of open up their wings before liftoff. 

My inspiration was this:

 A female Golden Stag Beetle....

Pieces from Vero Moda stores

I went to Vero Moda in my city to see if I could find a pair of black skinny jeans.. mine are more then 10 years old and are starting to, well break is the only word to use... 

But I couldn't find any jeans that I liked...I did however stumbled across some nailpolishes since they had mid-season sale... (a lot of clothes where on sale, some accessories and then nailpolish).

I bought one of each color that was on sale, they only cost 10 kr (Swedish Crowns) each.. Which in Sweden is a damn fine bargain!!!

From left to right: Dusty Green, Light Sand, Khaki Green, Wine Red, Mocca, Nature Brown, Lime, Sailor Blue and Midnight Blue

Essence - 04 Sugar Plum Fairy

This is what I uploaded on my Instagram like a week ago. The Happy Holidays nailpolish from essance in the color 04 Sugar Plum Fairy. My friend Constance bought it to me in Siegen, Germany (where she lived until February) which I wrote about here 

And this I took the same day I was taking it away from my nails.. As you can see I only used one part of the 2 part polish. I didn't want to use glitter this time but only the pure glossy polish.

Sunshine

...was what we had 2 weeks ago when I took this picture

I used OPI "The "it" Color" and China Glaze "Electrify" from the Hunger Games collection, sadly you can't really see all the nice glitter coz of the bright sunshine on my nails.

Feather nail art

Some days ago I made this nail art design on my nails. I started of wit h China Glaze's "White on White" and then I used my nail art polishes in black, purple, blue, pink, green and yellow to do this feather nail art design on my nails...

Fishtail or braided nails

In the beginning of last week I did this nail art that I have never done before.... the fishtail or braided nails. (This is also one of those I haven seen browsing thru nail art pictures on Pinterest and/or Internet). 

I started of by painting all my nails with OPI's "Koala Bear-y", then om my ring finger I did the fishtail or braided part of the nail art by also using OPI's "Shorts Story" and Manhattan 's Lotus Effect in number 1.

Owl nailart

So some weeks ago I was browsing thru Pinterest and I found a owl nail art design so I made it :-)

I started of by painting all my nails with OPI "My private Jet". I painted like 2 or 3 layers so that it was opac. I then used my Kiss Nail Art polishes in white and black together with OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" to do the owls face using the nail art polishes thin brushes but also a dotting tool. 

Unfortunately I think "My private jet" is very colorful and the white polish got pink-ish cos of all the pigment in "My private jet". I did the owl on my dads cousins nail and then I used another base polish and the white did not change color.

Oh My...

...how could I haven't written here since end of January!!!!!!! The thing is that I post all my things on Instagram (cos I got lazy and I have to much things to do...) My instagram is here, you can all go and follow :-)

The 11th of February  

 I have previously done water marbling but this time I wanted to try out the spotted effect so I did just like when water marbling but with one small change... I had a spray bottle with vodka in it and I sprayed on the black polish before I stuck my finger in the water and yeap there where a spotted effect :) I used H&M "Manhunter" and "Lucky Lady"

The same day my friend came and I bought some polishes from her :) (she is moving to L.A and is selling of her things that she can't bring with her)

The 19th of February 

My friend came over so I could re-make her nails.

 This first picture is of her nails that I hade done like 10 days earlier. I used two shades of blue from the brand Bissu and then I added some glitter from H&M on her ringfinger.

I did the Caviar Nail Art with the polishes from Primark that I wrote about here

The 20th of February

On the 22nd of February I went to Stockholm to see 30 Seconds To Mars and therefore I made a 30STM inspired nailart on my nails... I did the triad, the symbols and the white with colorful dots from the latest cd cover *LoveLustFaithDreams*

The 24th of February

I had hard to decide which PINK OPI polish I was going to have..... SO I tried out all the shades that I have... 

The 27th of February

I then decided for "Japanese Rose Garden". 

Unfortunately just 2 days after this happened... :

My nail broke right down and actually continued to do so even today ...same nail was cracked in two halves when I took away my last nail art today :( 

The 3rd of March

I painted my nails with 2 different grey holo polishes . Nails inc - "Royal Mews" and Kiko - 400 

A bit of macro of the holos ... so nice :)

The 6th of March

I then went over to China Glazes "White on White " and used a sponge to add H&M's "Miss Stone Heart" and "Manhunter"

The 12th of March

I saw a post on Pinterest, when I was browsing for ideas, on this owl painted on grey holo polish so I did my own but whit OPI's "My private Jet" as a base  and the I used white and black from Kiss Nail Art Polishes and OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" for the eyes.

I then also painted the same owl on my dads cousins nail, she wanted to show it to her kids at work,

but instead of OPI I used H&M "Nice N'Naughty" as a base. I had also, the day before, painted my mums nails with IsaDora "31 Burgundy Rose"
